Pemba And Northern Mozambique Attractions

Although the south of Mozambique is more easily accessible by
road, the north is bursting with natural attractions and stunning
beach resorts, and is increasingly attracting international
visitors and developing the tourist infrastructure to accommodate
them.

Near the middle of the long, narrow country, the port city of
Beira is often used as a gateway to the north, particularly the
Gorongosa National Park, the Cahora Bassa Lake and the gorgeous
Ilha de Mozambique, an island celebrated for both natural and
cultural attractions. Nestled in the far north, the port town of
Pemba is another increasingly popular hub for travel in Mozambique.
From this shabby but picturesque town, tourists can access pristine
white beaches, tropical islands, unspoiled wilderness areas, and
national parks. The Quirimbas Archipelago is fast being
'discovered' as Mozambique's new hotspot for beach holidays and
should soon be UNESCO-listed. The 31 islands in this chain are a
haven for scuba divers and fishermen, with some fascinating history
to complement the lovely beaches. Inland from Pemba, the Niassa
Game Reserve is a massive swathe of protected wilderness just
begging to be explored by adventurous tourists.

Roads in the northern provinces of Mozambique often require a
4x4 vehicle and can be riddled with potholes. Travel is
substantially more difficult in the rainy season (October to March)
when mud can make roads impassable and the nature reserves tend to
close as a result.
